A luxury, self-catered holiday home, close to home, is the increasingly popular option to celebrate Christmas offering us the opportunity to eat, drink, and be merry in a home away from home. While some brave the busyness of airports, cancelled flights and stressful queues during the month of December, others (wisely) choose to stay right here in Australia and discover the ease of celebrating a quintessential Australian Christmas not too far away from home.

The Blue Mountains is only a two-hour drive from Sydney, offering a relaxing environment away from the hustle and bustle of the city during December. As another year begins to end, many of us feel the desire to unwind and enjoy the finer things in life. The process of buying presents, contacting extended family, sending cards, and rounding up the children and grandchildren can be a stressful way to end the year. You deserve to take a breather!

Each Mountain Whispers property offers the opportunity for a luxurious Christmas with sparkle and cheer. Breath-taking views, serene gardens, luxurious decor and amenities, and your personal choice of optional indulgences await your stress-free arrival. Come together with family and/or friends and enjoy a Christmas feast surrounded by the luxurious ambience of a bygone era while you open presents, sip port or bubblies, and simply unwind.

Put the business of the local shopping mall, traffic, and other tiring Christmas to-do list activities behind you in the Blue Mountains. Now is the time to enjoy quality time with those you love with no distractions, only free time to relax and create memories – which is what Christmas-time is truly for. Board games, bubble baths and good food and conversation…perfect!

Step away from tech, emails, and updating social media. While you are here, take the chance to explore the finer side of the Blue Mountains, which offers extravagant restaurants, wineries, spas, breathtaking walking tracks, and pine-fresh Mountain air.
